Exterior view of the front of the public school in Georgetown, Colorado, built in 1874. The building is two-story with a hipped roof and three towers. There is a gable over the center of the facade containing a stone carved with "Public School 1874." The second story has five windows with arched pediments, and the center window is double; the first floor has four windows with curved pediments and a large central entrance. A wagon drawn by four horses and decorated with bunting holds a group of women in white dresses and hats. Other women, men, and children stand to the right. The mountain is visible behind the school.
